    Admittedly, I have no idea what I'm doing haha. The pedal feels ok, though it is very slightly soft at the start of the pedal travel. Very slightly. So perhaps that's enough to stop it from getting into gear

    Rebuilt slave cylinder, rebuilt clutch master cylinder. Still can't get the fucking thing out of the garage.

    This weather is terrible. Surely we're having a change of venue? The sun and lack of wind is horrible

    Someone give me a reason to avoid my work Christmas party quick!

    I would have driven GF6950 but my clutch is still being a cocksucker after rebuilding the slave cylinder. I will still be there. Catching the waiwai express

    Rad! Thanks

    So if they aren't scored or frigged you'd just leave them? I guess I'll find out how good/bad they are when i dismantle. Beaver, ill be in touch xo

    I'm rebuilding the hydraulic system that makes my clutch work on my Hillman hunter. I've bought all the new seal kits to recondition my master cylinder and slave cylinder. The Haynes manual (lol) says i should hone the bores before putting new seals in. Where as I've now heard stories that honing the bores on such old pieces of shit can often remove too much metal and make them leak under pressure. The comparison was made between honing the bore for an engine (which obviously doesn't use a rubber seal and tolerances need to be spot on) versus a hydraulic system. I appreciate your thoughts on the matter. Would you make the effort to get it honed? Or would you just bang it together with fresh seals?

    Fixed seat without a hint of welding or rivnuts. Used a magnet on a stick to push a nut into the crevasse and bolt it on. Yeeeee. And now my clutch slave cylinder is poked

    Riiiiight so, I'm a bit slow, and I've just had a go at putting the seat back in. I've left it this long because i thought it would be easy. I worked out part of the issue i had removing it was because the gearbox side was mounted to low and was hitting the trans tunnel, so u couldn't slide seat back far enough to undo the front bolt. So i used a couple of little spacers to fix it. All good. But, now i go to bolt the seat back in... The thread in the floor at the front of the seat has now unstuck the "weld" and the thread is no longer held in. If i could find the guy who assembled the car in Petone, I'd give him a stern talking to. But actually, now that both bolts are fucked, i actually need to fix it properly.... Anyone wanna come cut it out and weld a sweet new plate in for me?? //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/49965-bwarps-1972-hillman-hunter/

    Totally virgined out and missed this. I'm knee deep in books. Fffffff.
  17. M Night Shamalayan
    I suppose a seat is relatively important, huh. Looking at it again, it shouldn't actually be that hard to tack another nut in there
  18. M Night Shamalayan
    Could probably tack the nut to the existing steel plate that the original thread has been ripped out of, i guess. Just needs a bit of tidying up
  19. M Night Shamalayan
    got the seat out. rammed a square drive screwdriver inside a little hole and managed to push on it hard enough to stop the nut underneath spinning. ive got the seat and rails apart and shit seems a bit weird with the mounting. odd nuts and bolts used to hold seat to rail, with one of them missing all together. they also have an assortment of little spacer things, so i'm trying to work out a better order to put them all in because it always felt like the seat was a little low in one corner, so hopefully can balance it out. now just have to get it all mounted back in, and put a rivnut in the corner thats missing a thread. (hopefully that's a safe option??)
  20. M Night Shamalayan
    Ah yes. Magical rivnuts. Good thinking.
  21. M Night Shamalayan
    I have tried that but the nut is one of those ones with a flange bit thing built in, so it's hard to push the screw driver against the side to hold it down haha. Might have to have another go at it. Once I've got it out, my next issue will be how do i put the seat back in properly
  22. M Night Shamalayan
    It appears the drivers seat is barely attached. The back bolt of the rail on the gearbox side looks like it has ripped the threaded bit out of floor, and some whorey has put a Phillips head nut in it with a 10mm ish bolt on the other side. I have no idea how they even did it up because i can barely get a spanner in there. Does anyone know if i can remove the seat from the rails while the rails are still attached to the car? I can't seem to work out how to unhook the gearbox side from rail, door side is ezpz tho. Thorts?
